Instagram is one of the most popular social networking platforms out there, with over 2 billion monthly active users. Users come to the social media platform to create and share photos, videos, and reels with each other. 

Another great thing about Instagram is that, apart from socially connecting its users, it also pays them for using the platform (though not every user). This has given birth to what we know as influencer marketing. However, Instagram only pays those users who are active, have a significant amount of followers and create authentic content. 

Instagram influencers are famous, and they do earn a lot. Still, they will not be classified as celebrities. However, real celebrities with massive, global fan bases can also be categorized as influencers.
